How Do You Remove Infinity Hoop Earrings?

Published in Jewelry Removal 2 mins read

To remove infinity hoop earrings, gently pull the wire post straight out from the tube closure.

Here's a breakdown of the process for removing infinity hoop earrings safely and easily:

  • Grip the Hoop: Hold the hoop securely on either side of your earlobe.

  • Locate the Closure: Identify where the wire post inserts into the hollow tube. This is usually on the opposite side of the hoop from where it enters your ear.

  • Gently Pull: With a firm but gentle grip, pull the wire post straight out of the tube. Avoid bending or twisting the post, as this could damage it. Think of pulling it directly away from the tube's opening.

  • Separate the Ends: Once the post is disengaged, gently shift the two ends of the hoop sideways, away from each other, to create enough space to remove the earring from your ear.

Important Considerations:

  • Patience is Key: Don't force anything. If the post is stuck, try wiggling it gently or applying a tiny amount of lubricant (like petroleum jelly) to the area where the post enters the tube.

  • Avoid Bending: The wire post is delicate. Bending or twisting it can make it difficult to re-insert later.

  • Cleanliness: Keep your hands and the earrings clean to prevent infection.

  • Professional Help: If you're having persistent trouble removing the earring, consult a piercer or jeweler for assistance.
